Indications for use, specifying the target species
For the treatment of mixed cestode and nematode or arthropod infestations, due to adult and immature roundworms, lungworms, bots and tapeworms in horses:
Nematodes
Large-strongyle:
Strongylus vulgaris (adult and arterial larvae)
Strongylus edentatus (adult and L4 tissue larval stages)
Strongylus equinus (adult) Triodontophorus spp. (adult)
Small-strongyle:
Cyathostomum: Cylicocyclus spp., Cylicostephanus spp., Cylicodontophorus spp., Gyalocephalus spp. (adult and non-inhibited mucosal larvae).
Parascaris: Parascaris equorum (adult and larvae).
Oxyuris: Oxyuris equi (larvae).
Trichostrongylus: Trichostrongylus axei (adult).
Strongyloides: Strongyloides westeri (adult).
Habronema: Habronema spp. (adult),
Onchocerca: Onchocerca spp. microfilariae i.e. cutaneous onchocerciasis
Lungworm: Dictyocaulus arnfieldi (adult and larvae).
Cestodes (Tapeworm): Anoplocephala perfoliata, Anoplocephala magna, Paranoplocephala mamillana.
Dipteran insects: Gasterophilus spp. (larvae)
As tapeworm infestation is unlikely to occur in horses before two months of age, treatment of foals below this age is not considered necessary.
